CSS sprites

  • Hello,

    I’ve been analysing my website with GTmetrix, and has been always returning the “Combine CSS sprites” alert.

    I’ve checked on google for a solution but no lucky… Someone could help me? Is there a W3 total cache function to solve this?

    My site: https://tudodegeladeira.com.br/

    Thanks a lot!

  • This is really a theme issue.

    Basically, a sprite is a combination of all the images the theme uses. That way, you only make one server call for the sprite image, and then display only the portion you want using CSS.

    If your theme only calls a handful of images, this probably isn’t affecting performance too badly, but if it has a dozen or more images, a CSS sprite is the way to go.

    This really should be handled by the theme, but there is this plugin:

    Keep in mind that that plugin hasn’t been updated in a while, may not be compatible with current versions of WordPress, and relies on an external cloud server over which you have no control and may no longer be available.
